A message from the Camosun College Student Society: Thank you for voting

Columns December 2, 2015

I want to thank all of you who trusted and supported me with your votes. Getting people to like you is very easy. However, getting people to trust you is a process that takes time, and for those of you who trusted me with your votes, I am immensely thankful.

I will assure you that you will not be let down and I will follow through with my three commitments: a longer reading week, healthier food options at night in our cafeteria, and a more secure campus at all times. I am committed to helping you.

As one of the four Lansdowne directors-at-large, I encourage you to take an active role in the student movement. Many students encounter economic struggles and need your help. That help comes in many ways, ways that your student society is constantly working to make happen, but the key is always you.

The Don’t Close the Doors campaign, for example, is fighting to restore funding to Adult Basic Education. This program benefits some of our most marginalized demographics. Together, we can win the fight to bring back this vital funding.

We take seriously our mission to go above and beyond to help you and ensure we remain accountable to you and to have your trust. It may not be easy at all times, but everything is possible with hard work, dedication, diligence, and love.

The joy of being a leader comes by serving others and by getting things done, but none of this would be possible without your time, dedication, and support. As Camosun students, coming together will create a strong campus culture.

We will be working hard to accomplish our goals, and we will also be studying harder to keep growing in this journey. However, we need your support and your time as we pursue the different campaigns we have for the welfare of all Camosun students.

Thank you kindly for all your help.
